I teach project managers how to handle every stage of an exhibition project, from the first sketch to the final day of the trade show. I train and coach individuals and entire company teams, drawing on more than 14 years of experience in the international exhibition industry. I also help women entrepreneurs find their own authentic way of leading their businesses and teams.

I've led exhibition and event projects around the world. As the owner of a woodworking shop specializing in trade show booth construction, I've been responsible for strategy, production, and client communication. I know firsthand what challenges project managers face at international trade shows and where they most often get stuck.

TRAINING AND COACHING FOR THE EXHIBITION INDUSTRY

  • Exhibition project management training – practical methods for planning, budgeting, scheduling, and coordinating vendors
  • One-on-one coaching for project managers – support with specific projects and long-term professional development
  • Team programs for companies – training and coaching for employees of businesses that work in the exhibition industry or exhibit at trade shows
  • International teams and vendors – how to manage projects when vendors follow different quality standards, use different materials, and have different approaches to deadlines and communication

SUPPORT FOR WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS

  • Authentic business and team leadership – helping women entrepreneurs find their own leadership style, grounded in their values and respect for others
  • Decision-making and continued growth – how to make decisions with courage, learn from mistakes, and move both yourself and your business forward

EXHIBITION PROJECTS AND TRADE SHOW BOOTH CONSTRUCTION

In addition to training and coaching, I continue to take on exhibition production projects:

  • Trade show booth construction worldwide – booth design, fabrication, and on-site installation
  • Custom furniture for interiors – made-to-order furniture built in my own woodworking shop
  • External project management and supervision – I can take charge of your exhibition project or oversee a technically complex exhibit, making sure deadlines, budgets, and vendors stay on track
  • Exhibition consulting – help with preparations ranging from technical drawings and structural calculations to exhibitor badges, event hostesses, and catering

ABOUT ME

I'm an entrepreneur with many interests, the founder of two companies, and a project manager through and through. For more than 14 years, my work has taken me to many corners of the world. I've managed international exhibition and event projects, worked with people from many different cultures, and experienced both the rewarding and challenging sides of running a business.

At an exhibition agency, I coordinated projects from the initial design through production inspections to personally overseeing installation and the exhibition itself. In my own workshop, I managed both strategy and day-to-day operations – client relationships, production, delivery of completed projects, and growing the business.

Today, I want to share what I've learned. I train and coach project managers in the exhibition industry around the world and support women entrepreneurs in finding their own way to lead their businesses and teams.

To me, leadership means knowing who I am, knowing what I stand for, and treating people with respect. Not every decision will be perfect, and not every project will be easy. But there's something to learn from each one. What matters is having the courage to keep learning, making decisions, and moving forward – in business and in life.

Firsthand recommendations

Massive thanks, goal achieved! Given a reasonable budget to work with, Expolux raised our brand to a new level. With personal, fast, efficient all-round service and exceptional design… Well done! A recommendation to everyone.

Ian Duff Sales & Marketing specialist at Carpion

We do a lot of trade shows with different co-exhibitors and the partnership with Expolux has been the best yet. Working with Lucie is a great pleasure. She’s always fair and tries to find a way to keep costs in check, while still getting the most out of the stand. Communication has always been honest and easy. She adapts her work quickly to the needs of the customer and makes sure that you’re informed about the progress and any next steps. This was by far the best I have slept before trade shows, knowing that everything is under control.
